Wall Street Needs Just One More Hit, Man
Wall Street got a big bailout over the weekend, with low interest loans from the government to buy banks and a special Sunday meeting by the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates by a quarter point.
Oh, wow, man. Cash. What a rush! That felt so good, like everything’s going to be okay. Just like before, last week, when Wall Street got an emergency bailout, and the time before that…
It’s not like Wall Street needs the help. No way. Wall Street can take it or leave it. Wall Street can stop taking those injections of cash from the government, those big electronic syringes filled with economic stimulus any time it wants to. The leaders of corporate America know what they’re doing, after all, and the free market is so very, very wise.
The American people are going to see the benefits of the huge bags of tax money that their government is pouring into Wall Street. They’re good for the money. Honest.
Yeah, and we’ve seen what happens to America when we get a CEO President.
Watch out, America. This Black Monday may be so black that they need to come up with a new word for black to describe how dark black can really be…
…or maybe Wall Street will get enough stimulant into its veins to get out of bed, put on a suit and show up for work for one more week, before it needs another hit. Just one more. It can stop anytime.
Isn’t it incredible that these corporations are being bailed out by the government? i don’t see them bailing out the foreclosurees. So how is this democracy, where the benefits of wealth are seen in a country’s corporations at the expense of its citizenry, yet the citizenry are continually scammed by the corporate sector in labor policy, defective goods, whimsical prices, and accountability (or liability under the “laws” which corporate lobbyists largely write and/or hugely influence). ANYTHING “given” to the public is demeaned as “entitlements” and branded “socialism.”
What do people do to change their government when it’s been usurped?
“Stimulus package” does sound an awful lot like drug slang, doesn’t it?
Or like a nymphomaniac’s dream come true.
